Hi
I am getting a new computer built for editing HD video tapes, using Adobe Premiere Pro [CS5]
I am undecided whether to spend the extra to get an i7 - 970, rather than the 4 core i7 - 960. I'm not sure if I will be able to see the difference between 4 or 6 cores with Premiere Pro. I'm not a gamer at all. I had planned to get the Sandy Bridge until they recalled the product and I have been told it will be a minimum 2 - 3 months before the problem is fixed.
The rest of the build is:
Motherboard: ASUS P6X58D-E
RAM: CORSAIR DDR3 12GB PC3-16000 [3X4GB]
POWER SUPPLY : CORSAIR TX-850
GRAPHICS: MSI NVIDEA GEFORCE GTX 470 twin Frozr II
BOOT DRIVE: Western Digital Velociraptor WD6000HLHX
VIDEO DRIVES: 4 x 1TB Western Digital Cavier Black, run in RAID 5
OP SYSTEM: WINDOWS 7 PRO
BLU-RAY BURNER: PIONEER BDR-206
CASE: COOL MASTER SNIPER SGC-6000
If you can see anything where I have overkilled or underkilled, or omitted, please advise?
Thank you for your help.
